HULLS' PROGRAM IS r 
GREAT SUCCESS 

P. C. Music Department Pleases 
Lyceum Crowd 



STUDENTS HEAR ABOUT 

PORTLAND LIBRARY 



The excellent Lyceum number given 
by Eva Hummer Hull and Alexander 
Hull on the evening of December 12 
was well received, as their programs 
always are. They were assisted by a 
group of string artists made up of 
Clifton Paiiett, Herbert OWen and El 
don Newberry, all three violinists. In 
the numbers for the strings Mr. Hull 
played the 'cello. Eldon Newberry, a 
new member of the group this year, 
is a student of the college. 

Kenneth Crahtree, another student 
whose vocal ability is well known, as- 
sisted by singing three songs. 

As usual, one of the outstanding 
numbers was the musical reading by 
Mr. Hull. This year the reading was 
a poem of Browning's, "The Pied Pi- 
per." 

Following is the complete program:

Greater Interest Was Aroused in <he 
Gicat Field of Literal lire 

Miss Anna Mulheron from the Port- 
land Library gave a very interesting 
chapel talk, Friday, 13. The Portland 
Libraiy was founded by old pioneers 
fSM years ago. Miss Mulheron presented 
the following interesting thoughts: 
There is a great field of books in which 
one may roam. We should think of 
books as a doorway that leads to fields 
beyond. To anyone with no imagina- 
tion a door is just so much wood, with 
panels and knob. Anything may be 
behind a door; thus when we think of 
bokos as a door we are having a chance 
to wander through the door into the 
field of literature. 

College is just a door to show us 
where we may go after we leave col- 
lege. Education is not finished with 
four years of college. Literature is a ] 
beautiful door which can be opened and j 
where one can wander to his heart's 
content. 



KANYON HALL GIVES 

OPEN HOUSE AND PARTY 



PENNINGTONS ENTERTAIN 

THE FRESHMAN CLASS 



A party given by President and Mrs. 
Pennington after school last Tuesday 
pleasantly opened the Christmas sea- 
son for the Freshmen. On arriving at 
Pennington's the guests were' divided 
into two groups, the Reds and the 
Greens. Several of the Greens told 
interesting stories or gave readings, 
and the Reds gathered around the pi- 
ano to sing songs for the entertainment 
of the other group. In an apple pass- 
ing contest the Reds proved themselves 
the superiors. Then everyone was giv- 
en a present, a box wrapped in gay 
paper and containing a bun, potato 
chips, cake and candy. Cocoa was also 
served. After moro games, everyone I 
joined in singing "Silent Night" and 
left, commenting on the delightful time. 



Ladies' Auxiliary and Husbands Are 
Guests of Dormitory Girls 

Open house was held by the residents 
of the dormitories for the Ladies Aux- 
iliary of Pacific College and their hus- 
bands, Friday evening, December 13. 
The guests went to Hoover Hall first 
to see what kind of "room keepers" 
the boys are, and then they went to 
Kanyon Hall. 

After inspecting each room and ad- 
miring this lamp or that picture and 
making various comments, everyone 
went to the parlor. A lovely program 
had been arranged for by the girls: 

Trio — 2 steel guitars, 1 mandolin, Lil- 
lian Barnes, Helen Whipple, Elizabeth 
Ott. 

Reading — Elva A r otaw. 

Piano Solo — Genevieve Badley. 

Quartet, song — Helen George, Lela 
Jones, Genevieve Badley, Elizabeth Had- 
ley. 

Reading — Dorene Heacock. 
After the program tea was served by 
the girls.

THEFIAN STUDIES CHINA 

China, was the foundation of the pro- 
gram for the Trefian Literary Society 
at their meeting last Wednesday. La- 
Verne Hutchens spoke about Chinese 
drama, which is entirely different from 
our own. Chinese music was discussed ! 
by Dorene Heacock. She described the 
many different instruments used by the ' 
people of China and gave a short his- i 
lory of the development of music. Eliz- j 
abeth ITadley told the members about 
Chinese poetry and amused her listen- 
era with seveial poems. 

So comparatively little is known 
about the drama, music and poetry of 
that country that the program proved 
very Instructive as well as interesting. 

A short business meeting preceded 
the program. I 



HOW ABOUT IT, FACULTY? 

The faculty male quartet program 
isn't very far in the future now, and 
it is the opinion of the writer that it 
would be an excellent idea for more 
of the members of the faculty to take 
part in this program in the foim of 
a one act play. Personally, I have 
liver seen any of the faculty members 



On Saturday evening the girls in 
Kanyon Hall held open house for the 
boys of Hoover Hall. After each one 
had seen each room and poked his 
fingers where he was not supposed 
to, etc., they all went to the parlors. 
Here the big Christmas tree dazzled 
in the light, and holding many small 
packages for good little boys and girls. 
Ah — no, little Georgie wasn't forgot- 
ten, nor any of the other small chil- 
dren in the college dormitories. Every- 
one had a good time looking at, play- 
ing with, and eating his present, as 
the case might be. A few games were 
played and refreshments served, which 
closed a joyful evening. Everyone in 
the dormitories wish each other and 
everyone else A Merry Christmas and 
A Happy New Year! 



in plays, but from what I have heard 
of their "college days" several of them 
have plenty of ability. Of course, the 
quartet itself would put on an excellent 
program but with the one act play 
thrown in for good measure it ought 
to be double excellency. F. L. C.

NEGRO PROBLEMS 

ARE DISCUSSED 

Reverend Hill Interests College 
Christian Organizations 



Reverend Hill gave a very inter- 
esting talk on "The Causes of Poverty 
Among the American Negroes" in Y. 
M. and Y. W. on December 4. 

Poverty, he explained, is the inability 
to provide clothing, shelter and food, 
and the state of mind a man may 
possess. Among the causes of poverty 
of the American negro are two types, 
general and specific. The general caus- 
es touch everybody alike. They include 
the cosmic causes, arising from natural 
things, as earthquakes, floods, fires; 
then disease; ignorance; and the chang- 
es in the economic status of the coun- 
try, as the invention of machinery. 

There are many specific causes also. 
Racial identity is the most striking 
cause of poverty known. The negro is 
classified lowest in our cast system be- 
cause of his race. His color restricts 
him in both work and recreation. The 
slave mind is another factor which has 
not changed enoughm to be noticeable. 
During the many years the negro has 
been a slave, he has had no desire to 
own property. He is merely a tiller 
of the soil, with a position not superior 
to that of the cow. Thus no impression 
has been made on his mind that he 
might own land, possess property, or 
be a respected, civilized man. When 
first freed, he did not know the value 
of the dollar, thus falling prey to schem- 
ers. And he has not yet outgrown that 
state of mind. 

The system of residential segregation 
is practiced in all large cities. It might 
be thought to be all right, but such a 
section Is always in the worst part of 
the cities, and the last district to get 
any kind of protection. Sewage and 
lighting conditions are very poor, and 
the tenement houses often contain as 
many as 30 families. Such an environ- 
ment naturally has its effect on the 
negro child, and he grows up in pov- 
erty and often commits crime early in 
life. 

It is the attitude of the American 
public that allows this life and condi- 
tion to go on. The educational system 
for the negro is a long way out of 
proportion to that of the white. An 
illustration is that in Georgia less than 
$3 is used for the education of each 
negro, while $11 is used for each white 
person. Thus the school system and 
training of the negro is far inferior. 
In Washington, D. C, there are special 
schools for negroes, having 400 or 500 
graduates each year. Where the schools 
are mixed there are never more than 
75 graduates in any school, and usually 
far below that number. This is one 
improvement for the negro. 

Another specific cause is religion. The 
negro has a very simple faith, and often 
will not try to get work because he 
has treasures laid up in heaven."

and friendship toward all people. We are reminded anew of 
the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and of the beautiful inci- 
dents which accompanied His birth. The Crescent staff offers 
to you the best of wishes for your happy vacation time. May 
you return to school at the beginning of the new year with a 
new enthusiasm for your work and for our college.

YEAR! 

With a smile, 

Editor. 



DEEP THOUGHTS 

The Fourth Tear class is more or 
less patiently" waiting for the arrival 
of their rings, which may be here some 
time before Christmas — or graduation. 

Our class is proud to provide two such 
good girl volley-ball ists for the Pacific 
team. 

Likewise we are all pepped up about 
the members of our class who have 
been playing basketball. 

Also we are proud of Eldon Newberry 
who is not only a good violinist, but is 
also good at mislaying his music. 

No other physics class ini the country 
has ever used so much ice and pro- 
duced such uneatable results as we do. 
But then, who can tell what may hap- 
pen? 

A member of the Fourth Tear class 
has been wondering for some time 
when that treasure hunt, toward which 
he contributed, is to take place. Let's 
have a little pep along this line! 



FOB YOU 

Can you stand on a hill in the moon- 
light 

And watch a sleeping town; 
Can you watch a silvery waterfall 

With crystals tumbling down; 
Can you watch small children playing, 

Their faces rosy and dear; 
Can you see a garden of roses, 

And not know God is near? 

If you've searched through boolcs for 
assurance; 
Are watching others live; — 
Try watching the heavens above you 

And the lessons they can give; 
Try watching a blade of new green 
grass 

As it wakes to another year. 
Try watching all beauty around you, 
And know that God is here. 

—J. D. S. 



Wife (at breakfast): "Could I have a 
little money for shopping today, dear?" 

Husband: "Certainly. Would you 
rather have an old five or a new one?" 

Wife: "A new one, of course." 

Husband: "Here's the one, and I'm 
four dollars to the good/' 



Papa: "See the spider, my boy, spin- 
ning its web. Is it not wonderful? Do 
you reflect that, try as he may, no 
man could spin that web?" 

Marion D.: "What of it? See me spin 
this top. Do you reflect that, try as 
he may, no spider could spin this top?" 



A colored man entered a general store 
and complained to the merchant that 
a ham he had purchased had proved 
to be no good. 

"That ham is all right, Joe," insisted 
the merchant. 

"No, it ain't, boss," insisted the other. 
"Dat ham's sure bad." 

"How can that be," continued the 
proprietor, "when it was cured only 
last week?" 

"Maybe it's done had a relapse." 



Hank; "I've never seen such dreamy

Bertha: "Tou've never stayed so late

A pretty good firm is Watch & Waite; 
Another is Attyt, Early & Late; 
Still another is Doo & Daret, 
But the best is probably Grin & Barrett.

NEGRO PROBLEMS 

ARE DISCUSSED 



(Continued from page one) 



Immediately after the Civil War the 
negro trained himself as a professional 
instead of along the agricultuial line. 
Also new systems of industry have de- 
prived the negro of work; he has to 
make adjustments, not having quite re- 
covered fiom such sudden changes. 

In conclusion, Mr. Hill pointed to the 
teachings and precepts of the Man of 
Galilee as the greatest solution for this 
problem — the establishment of the com- 
ing of the kingdom of God. 



The Way a Fresltie Says It — 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, 
How I wonder what you are; 
Up above the world so high 
Like a diamond in the sky. 
The Way a Senior Says It — 
Scintillate, scintillate, diminuitve planet, 
How I ponder over what you are 
Up above this terraqueous globe so 

greatly elevated, 
Like a fragment of carbon, crystalized 
in the sorentric system in the firm- ' 
ament. 



Merry One: "Cheer up, old man. Why 
don't you drown your sorrow?" 

Sad One: "She's bigger than I am, 
and besides, it would be murder." 



"Johnny, can you tell me what a 
hypocrite is?" 

"Tes, teacher. It's a boy who comes 
to school with a smile on his face." 



"If you stood on a dime, what would 
you resemble?" 
"I dunno." 

"Woolworth's; nothing over 10 cents."

QUAKER SPORTS 



H00PSTERS BEGIN SEASON 

WITH TWO VICTORIES 



Two games played and two won! The 
Pacific College Prune Picking quintet 
has defeated both Chehalem Center and 
Reed College by decisive scores'. The 
Chehalem Center game was played on 
the local floor Friday, December G, and 
•the Quaker team pulled out on top by 
a 35-23 score. Both the fiist and sec- 
ond teams saw action in this game 
which afforded the Prune Pickers good 
practice. 

The second victory came Friday, De- 
cember 13, 1929, when the Pacific team 
journeyed to Reed, to win 41-23. At 
one time early in. the second half the 
Reed boys had pulled their score to 
"within five of the Quaker total. How- 
ever, the Prune Pickers got busy after 
this and piled the score up to the final 
total. This game was interesting to 
watch and both teams displayed plenty 
of action. Reed College had barely 
started their regular basketball prac- 
tice so a much closer game is antici- 
pated when these two teams tangle on 
the local floor. 

The next game will undoubtedly be 
the stiffest yet for the Prune men. 
The Young Men's Division of the Port- 
land Y. M. C. A. is coming to New- 
berg next Thursday to play Pacific Col- 
lege. Game starts at 7:30. 



"TRUTH IS STRANGER 

THAN FICTION" 



SPORTITORIALS 
The Old Gold and Navy Blue 
have made it two in a row now 
for the basketball season of 
1929-30. Everybody come to 
the game with the Y. M. D. next 
Thursday night and help to 
make it three straight. The 
Prunemen will enjoy your sup- 
port and give you an interesting 
game to watch. 



The girls closed their volley 
ball season, or rather postponed 
it until spring, and are pursuing 
basketball prowess now. Because 
most of the other schools play 
volley ball in the spring instead 
of indoor baseball the girls de- 
cided to change also. There is 
plenty of material for the girls 
to make a championship team. 
Are you helping? 

The practice schedule has 
been placed on the bulletin board 
and reveals the fact that the 
men's basketball team is going 
to have much more practice time 
than heretofore which ought to 
help their winning average. 

Isn't it odd? Just as a matter 
of interest the reader might be 
interested in knowing that each 
of the five classes in school' have 
a representative on the first bas- 
ketball team. They're all jolly 
good prunemen. 



The man who first said that ants 
were the busiest workers in the world 
never examined Hoover Hall on a spree 
like the one Tuesday night, Dec. 3rd. 
Busy as ants on a large scale. Four 
mum, methodical "fellow dormitorites" 
fell upon the bed of Oren Winslow, '33, 
and played havoc with it. Suddenly 
the cry, "ditch" rang through the air. 
Master Winslow's "blanket supporter" 
was strewn thither and thather all over 
the front hall, and the ants made short 
work of disappearing. False alarm, it 
was only Mills coming home, so, forth- 
with, bleating the war-cry of "Take up 
thy roommate's bed and walk," said 
vermin fell to with a will, and Mr. 
Winslow's bed was next seen on the 
Hoover Hall woodpile, with the cul- 
prits escaping as the owner walked on 
the scene. 

Since one man cannot carry a bed, 
the only thing left for poor Oren was 
to hit said "hay" on said spot. (Inter- 
mission 10 minutes). Oren is now in 
bed with three table lamps, two mir- 
rors, and a bucket of water playing 
on him. In order to get another desk 
lamp, Mr. Larimer pounds on Mr. Mil- 
let's door announcing that the "British 
Are Coming." "I haven't any use for 
the British," pipes up Russ in a deep 
falsetto. Poor Oren, "water, water ev- 
erywhere, and Not a Drop to Throw 
Back." Girls voices are heard — SI- 
LENCE (Intermission again, this time 
for 6% hours). 

Our program is concluded with the 
Hallelujah Chorus sung by Signor Win- 
slow, accompanied by the G:30 Bell. 



A New York tourist was rhapsodizing 
one evening over the sunset on the 
Arizona desert. "Just think-" he ex- 
claimed to a rancher, "I came two thou- 
sand miles just to see your wonderful 
sunset!" 

"Someone's been stringin' yuh, stran- 
ger," drawled the westerner, '"taint 
mine." 



"I wish you would send a large trap 
to my house." 

"Yes, ma'am, and whom is it for?" 

"Don't be silly, young man. It's for 
the mice, of course." 



ANOTHER LEGEND SHATTERED 

Was Joan of Arc ever really burned 
at the stake? Modern nvestigators are 
beginning to believe that she was not, 
but was pardoned upon her promise to 
go home, stop wearing male garb and 
never fight again. The evidence for 
tha vtiew is fairly strong. Some of it 
was gathered as much as three cen- 
turies ago, when a French priest dis- 
covered in musty archives a record of 
a visit she paid to Metz in 143G, five 
years after the date of the famous ex- 
ecution of heretics in Rouen. The same 
priest found a subsequent marriage 
contract between Robert des Armoises 
and "Jeanne d' Arc, called the Maid of 
Orleans." Documents unearthed lately 
include a letter in which the Duke of 
Orleans mentioned a reception that he 
was planning for "Jehanne, the Maid 
of Orleans," and a reference in the rec- 
ords of the city of Orleans to the cost 
of a present given to her "in memory 
of the good which she did do to the 
city in the time of the siege." This was 
in 1439, eight years after Joan's ashes 
were supposed to have been scattered 
on the Seine. 

Of course it is quite possible that 
these later Joans were mpostors or that 
the documents are forgeries. Such is 
the contention of those who do not ap- 
prove of shattering myths. There arc 
people who argue that heroic and beau- 
tiful legends, even when proved false, 
should still be preserved and repeated 
for the inspiration they lend. For our 
part, we prefer to know the truth, even 
when it hurts. In the long run and 
in the total sum, nothing is so inspir- 
ing as true knowledge. — Selected.

Y. W. C. A. 



December 11 

"Capital Punishment" was the sub- 
ject of Mr. Oulley's talk in Y. W. on 
December 11. 

Capital punishment is one of the live 
questions of today from three stand- 
points: religious, ethical, and scientific. 
The question which immediately arises 
is, "Does capital punishment administer 
justice scientifically?" 

There are four leasons why we pun- 
ish criminals: for retribution, reforma- 
tion, deterrence, and the proecttion of 
society. Retribution is a relic of bar- 
barism; reformation cannot be given 
to a hanged man; as yet capital pun- 
ishment has not kept others from com- 
mitting crime, in reality it has encour- 
aged crime; and society is not protect- 
ed, for what about the families of the 
victim and the murderer which society 
has to support? 

As a substitute for capital punish- 
ment, why should we not use the sys- 
tem of life imprisonment, which is a 
far more scientific and civilized and 
much better method?

The students have been seated in the 
dormitory dining room by the language 
they are taking. There are two Spanish 
tables, one French table, and two mis- 
cellaneous tables. Each one is sup- 
posed to use that language at dinner. 



Genevieve Badley was very surprised 
when she went to see Miss Binford and 
found every girl calling "surprise" to 
her, for it wasi her birthday. Every- 
one ate and laughed so much that it 
was quite uncomfortable. The boys 
arrived outside the parlor windows and 
gave each girl, and especially Gene- 
vieve, a serenade. 



NEW BOOKS 

The Zoology students will be inter- 
ested to know that a book on Protozoa 
is in the library and should help class- 
ify certain organisms that seem hard 
to dentify, as it is profusely illustrated. 

Material on the debate topic, "Dis- 
armament," has been collected and 
placed on a reserve shelf. A bbliog- 
raphy of the books and magazines is 
available as a guide for those reading 
on the subject. 

Probably everyone is aware that the 
recent war books, "Now It Can Be 
Told" by Sir Philip Giggs and the nov- 
el, "All Quiet On The Western Front" 
by Erich Maria Remarque, have been 
added to the book collection and would 
be in the lbirary if they were not so 
popular. They may be reserved by any- 
one desiring to read them. 



AND THEY STILL TALK ABOUT IT 

A group of dormitory young people 
spent Thanksgiving vacation at "Wild- 
wood Holstehi," the home of Helen and 
Elinor Whipple. The place is ten miles 
east of Vancouver. The days were 
spent in hiking over a mountain near 
there, in horseback riding and other 
forms of outdoor amusement. In the 
evenings the young people played games 
and pulled taffy. The guests were: Lela 
Jones, Generva Street, Lillian Barnes, 
Elva Votaw, Ralph Choate, Link Wirt 
and George Donnell. 



WELCOME! 

AH of the dormitory residents wel- 
come Miss Myers to their midst. It 
is hoped that she will soon become ac- 
customed to the creaking boards, the 
numerous and weird sounds that echo 
and re-echo throughout Kanyon Hall, 
and the "thunderng herd" stampeding 
on the second floor.

THE BEAN 

When exams in your classes 

Show your grade is rather lean; 
Just start an often unused process, 
Just merely use your bean. 

When you're with Prexy on the carpet 
And things aren't all so well, 
Why not use your bean a little 
And just ring the fire bell? 

When people say that you are dumb 
And you've got a poor I. Q. 
Then just use your bean a little 
And show what you can do. 

—Lynn Hampton. 



No. 1 for Teeth Easy to Whiten 
No. 3 for Teeth Hard to Whiten 

As the wheels of time rolled back- 
ward eveiyone got quite a jolt from a 
now rusted cog from "The War of the 
Razors." 

It is six-fifty -seven — our hero, George, 
enters (he is a bit early). Noticing that 
his shaving cream is either all gone or 
just gone a little ways, he snatches a 
tube from one of his neighbors and pre- 
pares a "skin you love to touch." El- 
more is now noticed, toothbrush in hand, 
searching for something. 

Here the curtain falls; for that ex- 
plains, to anyone who wishes to know, 
why George's cheek was so soft and 
white that day.

The waitresses at the dormitory were 
greatly releved in more ways than one 
Friday, November 22, when they heard 
that the members of the Gold "P" and 
their initiates would dine at the dormi- 
tory. The tables were rearranged with 
the large table in the middle decorated 
with blue and gold. The members of 
the Gold "P" sat at this table and were 
waited upon by two of the would-be 
members. The other tables were waited 
upon by the other two initiates. There 
was a great deal of fun for all, except 
perhaps,— Ask Ralph, Doyle, Elmore, 
and George. 



After that Gold P-Faculty volley ball 
game was but another civil war, as 
at least half of the Faculty team are 
members of the Gold P Club and have 
all undergone the trials of a Gold P 
initiation.
